Chapter 23: The Rough Stone

Xie Bin took Liu Wenqing to a pile of rough stones, there were still a lot of people at this time, but no one cut the stones anymore, they were just watching the excitement. It is estimated that there are really not many people in this island city who can play gambling stones, and even fewer will play in this place, and most of the rest are still like Xie Bin, just famous, and most of them are here for a long time.

Yesterday's piece of jadeite, which is said to be the base of egg whites, is only two or three people competing for bids, and the rest is all about watching the excitement.

Speaking of which, the professionalism of the jade industry is too strong, and not everyone can play it. Xie Bin read the information all night, and now his head is still a little confused. So far, Xie Bin has not been able to figure out what the jadeite with egg white base looks like, after all, the gap between the picture and the real thing is too big.

Looking at this messy pile of stones, Liu Wenqing asked curiously, "Brother Xie, what's so beautiful about this stone?" ”

Xie Bin smiled and raised his head in front of the little girl: "Wenwen, don't underestimate these inconspicuous stones, tell you, those beautiful jadeites are all cut out of this stone, and such a stone was sold for more than 1.1 million yesterday." ”

"Really?" Liu Wenqing's eyes widened when she heard this, she looked at this pile of even dirty stones in disbelief, and stammered for a long time without reacting, "One, more than one million?" ”

Xie Bin nodded, "Yes, this is still cheap, one piece was sold for 140 million last year, how about it?" ”

"You're not going to tease me, are you? Is this jadeite really that valuable? A female classmate in my class, her father also bought her a jade bracelet, only 800 yuan, how could it be worth so much money? Liu Wenqing still refused to believe it.

For people who don't know the jadeite market, it's indeed a little unbelievable. Chinese know that gold is priceless jade, but this jade generally refers to nephrite jade like Hetian jade, and most people still know very little about jadeite.

In fact, not only jadeite is not well understood, but even nephrite is not well understood. I know that Hetian jade is valuable, but I don't know that only a small part of jade is valuable, and the general grade ranges from a few yuan to hundreds of yuan more. And the same is true of jadeite, from small objects of a few dollars to tens of millions of superlatives, there are all kinds of grades, and they are all taken out of these stones that look even a little ugly.

Before understanding, Xie Bin didn't expect that the living environment of jadeite would be like this.

Xie Bin listened to Liu Wenqing's questioning words, but he was very patient to carefully understand the knowledge he had just learned, "Wenwen, jadeite is suitable for several grades, like those tens of hundreds of dollars, all of which are carved out of the lowest grade materials by machines, and even some unscrupulous merchants will use some chemical means to cheat, deceive customers with shoddy products, and some are simply counterfeit jadeite, which is made of glass resin and aventurine stone and other substances." ”

"Ah......?" Liu Wenqing obviously didn't think of this situation, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then how can you be sure that these stones are jade ore?" Is there emerald in all these stones? ”

Xie Bin smiled, gave a thumbs up, and praised Liu Wenqing: "Amazing, this question is to the point," after speaking, he thought about it carefully, and then continued to recite the information he had just seen: "This rough stone is valuable, naturally there are people who make fakes, such as making some stones of other minerals, after processing and selling them as jadeite roughs, and some people are selling the cut rough stones and then gluing them together as new ones, and some people are making some surface products that look like jadeite on the surface of the rough stones, Let people buy it, but as long as the eyesight is good enough, it is generally not fooled. ”

"Oh," Liu Wenqing nodded as if she didn't understand, and then pulled Xie Bin's arm and asked, "Then Brother Xie, how is your eyesight?" ”

"Uh," Xie Bin was embarrassed, "I just read some information on the Internet, and I don't have any eyesight there." Of course, Xie Bin knew that his eyesight was not good, but he was very confident in his ability, and this time Xie Bin wanted to use his ability to try his hand.

Taking Liu Wenqing to squeeze in, Xie Bin also took out a magnifying glass and pretended to carefully examine the rough skin of the rough stones. Of course, Xie Bin can only just take a look, the little information he saw yesterday, the description on the picture is not at all the same as the original stone in front of him, he can only sigh secretly, put his left hand under a rough stone in front of him, squint his eyes slightly, and activate his own ability.

The skin of this rough stone is yellowish-white, and it feels a little scratchy to the touch. With the activation of the ability, the internal structure of this rough stone slowly appeared in Xie Bin's mind. It's a wonderful feeling, it's not the vision of the eyes, it's not the touch of the skin, but it seems to be more sensitive than the sense of sight and touch, but there is no color in the vision, and there is no friction in the sense of touch. Fortunately, Xie Bin has been practicing every day these days, and he has long been familiar with this situation, and he has carefully felt the internal condition of this rough stone.

The whole rough stone is about forty catties, semi-oval, and it should be the seed material in the description, because it looks like a big river pebble by the river. As the ability deepened, through the hard skin that was two or three centimeters thick, the next feeling was a little more delicate, but you could still feel the feeling of delicacy and roughness penetrating each other. Continuing to go deeper, the feeling is even more delicate, Xie Bin's heart is moved, is it so lucky? The first time you came across a good product? As the ability probed around, Xie Bin learned about the general texture of the entire rough stone.

The skin of the rough stone is thicker than the rough stone that the man bought for 1.1 million yuan yesterday, and the transition layer is thicker, but the part that feels more delicate is larger than the one bought yesterday, and it is divided into two pieces, the upper part has a fist-sized piece, and the lower left part has a football-sized piece.

Of course, this is just Xie Bin's estimate, in fact, he is still very nervous, and he doesn't know whether his guess is accurate. The size of this shape is difficult to estimate, because the structure is very complex inside the rough stone, and even some obvious impurities are bitten together by canine teeth.

And the two regiments estimated by Xie Bin only changed and calculated the purest part. Of course, this can only feel the general texture of this jadeite, as for what kind of eye color the jade inside is, this is not something that Xie Bin's crappy ability can feel.

Xie Bin secretly estimated the internal situation of the rough stone in his heart, and then after pretending to take a closer look, he looked up and asked the big young man behind the platform. said that he was a young man, but in fact, he should be thirty years old, but now he seems to be a young man in his forties, so Xie Bin doesn't think it's inappropriate to call other people's young people. "Dude, what's the price of this stone?"

The big young man had a smile on his face, it should be the Li family kid that Xie Bin accosted the old man yesterday. The big man suspected to be surnamed Li smiled slightly: "No two prices, 20,000 yuan!" ”

Xie Bin shook his head, although he didn't know much about jadeite, but he also knew that after being screened from Myanmar and transported to GD and YN, and then after some selection, when it was shipped here again, I am afraid that there would be absolutely no good goods. Xie Bin, a guy from a small stall, naturally wouldn't pay more for this money, in his mind, three or five thousand is about the same, and twenty thousand is a bit of a lion's mouth.

Xie Bin put down the magnifying glass, shook his head with a wry smile, "Dude, you're too ruthless, three thousand yuan, how about it?" ”

When the big man heard this, he laughed more bitterly than Xie Bin: "Dude, you are more ruthless than me, it has dropped by 90% all of a sudden, no, add more." That's what I said, but I was muttering in my heart, is this guy really a novice? How can you bargain so accurately? In fact, most of these materials are picked, and no one wants to pick them, so they are wholesaled to some vendors in large quantities, which is almost equivalent to disposing of waste materials. Of course, there may be good things in the waste materials of gambling stones, and yesterday the man didn't open a good piece of material. Just now, I vaguely heard Xie Bin say that he was a novice who had only read some information, so he opened his mouth and wanted to kill Xie Bin. Who knows that Xie Bin's bargaining is just on his psychological bottom line, how can he not be surprised.

As for Xie Bin, anyway, he made up his mind to pay some money for tuition, but he wouldn't take out 20,000 yuan to play, so he cut it up and called it ruthless, gritted his teeth and added 500 yuan, "Three thousand five?" ”

When the big man heard this, he quickly shook his head, "Dude, it's not enough freight, I worked hard to transport it back from GD, not to mention the freight, the loading and unloading fees in the two places alone cost more than 5,000 yuan, 8,000 yuan." ”

Xie Bin smiled, "Your freight and labor costs are not a stone of Guangyun, on average, it is estimated that the cost of this stone is less than a thousand." ”

The big man almost didn't hit the wall and screamed, gritted his teeth and said, "Dude, you have a thousand pieces of this stone, I want as many as I want, do you dare?" ”

Of course, Xie Bin also has some drumming in his heart, but bargaining, he naturally has to be ruthless, anyway, as long as he makes money, he may be relieved, thought about it and said: "That's it, four thousand yuan, although I don't know much about it, but I still know a little basic things, four thousand yuan is really a lot." ”

"This ......" The big man wondered a little, is this guy really a rookie or is he pretending to be a rookie to fool people? Don't be fooled, spread it out and let him put Xiao Li's face somewhere. Finally, he gritted his teeth, "Okay, five thousand yuan, and then put on this one, like this?" As he spoke, he pointed to a small stone not far from Xie Bin's feet, which was smaller than a football.

Xie Bin's ability has been exhausted, and if he wants to play it again, he can only wait until tomorrow to come again, picked up the small stone and looked at it, Xie Bin smiled speechlessly and bitterly, it can be used as an additive, naturally it will not be a good product, but thinking about the two clouds of jade that may exist, Xie Bin still nodded and agreed. Speaking of which, being able to talk from 20,000 to 5,000, Xie Bin is already very good, many newcomers have just entered the industry, and they have opened their mouths and closed their mouths, but as soon as they bargained, this old bottom was revealed. The veterans bargained, that is called a ruthless, if they don't know how to bargain, it is clearly slaughtered, and they are slaughtered hard. Whether it is the jade industry or the antique industry, it is like this, seizing the opportunity is a fierce slaughter, anyway, there is no price bureau to stipulate the price of this thing, it all depends on the minds of buyers and sellers.

Xie Bin had already prepared 30,000 yuan on his body, which was specially prepared for today's gambling stones, took out 5,000 yuan and handed it to the big man with a smile, pointed to the cutting machine on the side and asked, "Does that cost money?" ”

The big man estimated that he was in a good mood after making this deal, and said with a smile: "Use it casually, don't break it." ”

Liu Wenqing on the side was a little surprised to see that Xie Bin spent 5,000 yuan to buy such two inconspicuous broken stones, but so many people looked at it, and she was embarrassed to persuade her, and she was also a little curious, wanting to see if there would really be jade in this stone, so she quietly watched Xie Bin busy working. ―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― (PS: 10 and 6 p.m. each have chapters!) )
